Refusal to Weep

     Le Samourai wields a cumulative impact that defies dissection, the undercurrent of piercing sadness all the more powerful for Melville's refusal to weep for a killer. It is precisely the sense that Jef knew he didn't deserve anyone's tears, the portrayal of life nullified, that provokes sorrow, for the sense that anyone should exist in such perfect solitude and pain is almost too awful to face.

Behind the Counter

George looked at the clock on the wall behind the counter.
"It's five o'clock"
"The clock says twenty minutes pas five," the other man said. 
"It's twenty minutes fast"
"Oh to hell with the clock" the first man said.
